Venting about friends....
I am just going to vent about some friends: both of these girls live really far away and I'm getting frustrated with them.
W. Coast friend NEVER returns my e-mails, texts or phone calls anymore. Getting sick of it. They are supposed to come here in December and stay with us, I know they bought tickets but there is no plan in place and it would be nice to know before the holidays roll around. At least a "Hey!" text back would be nice!!!!!! After not hearing from her for 2+ months I got a text a few weeks ago out of the blue that said "I know I need to e-mail you" and that was it. And....she never e-mailed me. Yet, she and her husband text my DH all the time!!!! WTF is up with that crap? She talks to him, but not me? Stupid. She just lost a pet and I felt really bad when I heard about it, called her and left a message...she never called back. Yet DH got a text from her H saying "Make sure you send J and e-mail this week, she's pretty broken up". WHY does my husband have to send her an e-mail?? I don't get it.
FL friend - we talk pretty often via e-mail, FB, etc...well I am going down to FL for the weekend to visit a different friend who lives about 30 min from this girl, and so I e-mailed her and said I'll be in FL Sat and Sun, let's get together for lunch/dinner/whatev....and she e-mailed back that her son plays football Saturday morning and she wants to spend time with him Sunday, so she can't. I get that spending time w/ your kids is TOTALLY important, I am not knocking that at all, but seriously, she can't meet me for 30 minutes for lunch? Bring him with you!!! And it doesn't have to be any particular time or day, any time all weekend will do! It's not like I'm in FL all the time.
I am just tired of feeling like people who I thought were my "friends", really aren't. People suck!
Re: Venting about friends....
Those sound like "friends" indeed!
It is weird that friend 1 talks to DH but not you. Wtf?! Are you friends on FB with her? I think you should make "plans" for the time she's supposed to be in town and post about them. Then if she questions it say that since you never heard back from her you assumed they weren't coming and made other plans! Haha. Ok, not really, but what the hell is it going to take to get her attention???
And friend 2 is being rude, and that just plain sucks. I guess you're better off without having to worry about meeting her if that's the way she wants to act about it.
I know, right?? These people are too strange. F#1, her and her H used to work with my H years ago, so maybe that is why she talks to him more? I dunno. Not that it bothers me that my H talks to her, I just find it very odd (and rude!) that she doesn't ever respond to me yet she texts P and apparently communicates via e-mail with him as well....
F#2, I guess perhaps money could be an issue, but lunch was just one option....it didn't have to be anything she had to pay for. I just felt her response was very curt - she said her son had football Saturday morning, and Sunday is "the day I spend with my baby" her words. Only her "baby" is 13. Not that I can blame her for wanting to spend time with her son, but I felt like she brushed me off, pretty much. It just felt rude and short and I was like, oh, ok...maybe next time! Or not!!!!!!
